(Mary Ann POV)
My name is Mary Ann Taylor I’m 16 and very invisible my best friend is Clara whom is around 5’4,dark skin,and has dark hair we’ve been friends since we first met in the sixth grade and we’ve never been separated since.You may be wondering what’s my story? Well it started like any other day when I received a text from an unknown stranger and you may be curious what happened well I purposely stolen someone’s identity and I now live with guilt.
24 Hours Earlier
My day started like any other day I woke up when the sun rose and got prepared for school.I generally loved going to school and learning new things I’ve always been curious of things,in my high school I was considered the “nerd” which wasn’t such a bad thing I loved being referred to as a bookworm that’s just who I am as a person no one can change me only myself.I was officially ready for school when my mom yelled my name,”Mary Ann! The bus is going to be here any moment you should be ready by now!”That’s when I walked down the stairs with my backpack on my shoulders and greeted my mom she was 5’6,really beautiful,and literally meant the whole world to me,”Bye mom see you after school.”While shutting the door I could see my moms blond hair in the distance,I finally made it to the bus stop when Mark my guy best friend showed up before me,” Hey Mary Ann the nerd,”he said with a smile on his face, that’s what Mark usually called me and it felt great whenever he said my nickname.I was about to say something when the bus finally arrived that’s when I realized Clara wasn’t nowhere to be found,”Hey Mark do you know where Mary Ann is? She’s normally never this late I wonder what happened to her,”While I was walking on the bus he told me she had a doctors appointment so she wouldn’t be here until the afternoon.That’s when Mark and I found a seat in the middle and I just looked at the beautiful sky through the window when I looked back at Mark he was just staring at me What has gotten into him recently? Like did he eat something awful or something? “What the hell are you staring at me?” I went right to the point in a rather rude way but I wanted the real answer,”I’m just staring at the sun Mary Ann nothing else.”He said with a blush, what was going on with him? well I wanted to get to the bottom of this.
(Mark POV)
You’ve maybe heard my name before but you don’t really know the real me I’m Mark Fitzpatrick I’m 17 years old and a junior at Hill Valley High School.My best friends are Clara and Mary Ann I remember the first time I befriended Mary Ann in the seventh grade we’ve been friends since and plus I secretly I have a huge crush on her but can’t really express my feelings because it could ruin our friendship.Clara and I also met in the seventh grade,I was the new student from a different school and completely different state and they made me feel not all alone anymore like I finally had someone to share my feelings with,and when I was going through a hard time at home.
Present Day
I was actually lying I was actually staring at Mary Ann not at the lousy sun for crying out loud! “Okay if that’s what you say Mark.” Mary Ann said with a curious tone that’s when she was looking at her phone. I tried to look over at her phone that’s when she whacked my hand.” Mark Fitzpatrick may you please mind your business?” Mary Ann stated in a dark tone. I nodded at her that’s when I looked at the sky through the bus window.” Yes I’ll mind your privacy Mary Ann.” I stated looking into the sun filled with happiness.
(Mary Ann POV)
I’ve been friends with Mark since we were both in the seventh grade, he’s always been weird. Not in a rude weird way but like in a creepy way since he’s always staring at me all the time. Like seriously? What’s his problem? I’m trying to forget about Mark Fitzpatrick staring at me he’s just my bestest friend on the whole planet. He’ll always be there for me, at least I have someone to stick up for me. We finally arrived at Hill Valley High School. Mark and I got off of the bus and started to walk to our destination which is our homeroom with Mr. Holland.
Mr.Holland was the most boring teacher on campus. I absolutely adore literature, and English but in general Mr.Holland was just a awful person. I sat in the front row right next to Mark.”Ladies and gentleman welcome back to English 11 you all had homework last night you better turn it in right away if you don’t you’re going to receive a 0 for this assignment.” I got up to turn in our assignment since we had to read the whole book of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen which is my favorite book and then afterwards we had to write an essay. I sat in my desk waiting for class to start that’s when Mr.Holland started class and I was overtaken by the love of literature.
I was already finished with my English class it was already time for lunch. Mark and I sat in our usual seat outside we called it our lunch spot. I was eating my burrito while Mark was eating a delicious pizza.”Hey guys how could you forget about me?” Clara announced seating near us. She told us everything about her doctors appointment from the good to the bad and the ugly.”We could never forget about you Clara we’re friends aren’t we?” Thats when she nodded and I smiled happily I loved hanging out with my besties during lunch they will always be there for me no matter what happens.
